Support Connection’s founding Executive Director Katherine Quinn say: “We are excited and proud to be able to celebrate this important milestone. We have been able to fulfill our vital mission for the past 25 years because of the community-wide support we have been fortunate to receive. We are so grateful, and we are happy to invite community members to join us for the first of many events we are planning for this momentous year.”

The 25th Anniversary logo that will be unveiled was designed especially for Support Connection by Kelly Duke McKinley, Partner & Creative Director of pak creative, an award-winning brand, marketing, and communication team. Kelly previously created other logos and graphics for Support Connection, beautifully representing the organization’s spirit, mission and impact.
